Amazing film is inspiring, but too mature for younger children. Slumdog Millionaire is a powerful story about true love, and its struggles. The film is absolutely beautiful, and entertaining. And if you haven't seen it be sure not to miss it. Parents Section: Violence: The violence in the film is not graphic, and is kept at a PG-13 level, although some of the violence involves children which makes it slightly more disturbing. The film starts with the main character being beaten, nearly drowned to death, and electrocuted by police officers. The violence is much milder than it sounds. A scene takes place where a riot against, Muslims is being held. This scene includes; burnings, beatings, and murder. The scene lasts for about 2 minutes, and is quickly edited making it "again" much milder than it sounds. There is also a scene where a man blinds a boy with hot oil, using a spoon to drop it into his eyes. As he pours the hot oil into his eyes, it is blurred. Making it once again, milder than it sounds. Language: There are some cuss words in the film, but not what you would expect from an R rated movie. The words used are "S--t", "Hell", "D-mn", "Cr-p", "P---y", and two non-sexual uses of "F--ing" The words are only said through some parts of the film, and is not used at a constant rate. Sex: A main character, in a female role is sold into sex slavery, though it is only implied. As well other sexual scenes are only implied and not shown. A very young boy's buttocks are seen in a non sexual way. The strongest scene in the film when pertaining about sex would be when two young boys enter a brothel. And see a quick glimpse of a man and a woman kissing, although they are both clothed at this point and no nudity is visible. Drinking/Drugs: Many drinking, and even up to the point where some children are seen drinking hard liquor. Messages and Role Models: There are consequences to the bad things that characters do in the film. As well as messages about doing whatever it may take to make your dreams come true.
